Haloarenas are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For the comparison of the reactivity of haloarenes are haloalkanes, consult
Haloarenes are also less reactive than haloalkenes or vinyl halides. Although C-X bond in haloalkenes has also partial double character due to resonance or conjugation but the extent of resonance in
Haloarenes is more. for details, consult section. As a result, the cleavage of the C-X bond in haloarenes is more diffult as compared to haloalkenes. these are therefore, less
